E.J. Dionne On The Sheer Volume Of Trump Scandals

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who shielded Trump from the consequences of his sleazy “University” scam, is shielded by him from the rain.

 

E.J. Dionne@The Washington Post (9/7/16): “Trump has run so many ethical stop signs over his long career that the media just can’t seem to keep up with the number of tickets he is due. Some of the scandals make mere cameo appearances and then disappear behind others. Of course journalists should investigate and detail all of Clinton’s lapses and mistakes. But it is hugely misleading to take every new Trump scandal and match it up with a replay of one of the standby Clinton scandals — and then pretend there is rough equality between the candidates on some scandal-o-meter. There is not. Where sleaze and corner-cutting are concerned, we all should pay proper tribute to Trumpian exceptionalism. When it comes to the broken system he so accurately described, Trump is the star.”
